Post-Doctoral Fellow at McGill, Montreal

The stability of the genome is essential for the proper function and survival of all organisms. DNA damage is very frequent and appears to be a fundamental problem for life. Most DNA damage is removed by DNA repair enzymes, but these repair processes are not completely efficient. DNA damage, if not repaired, causes errors during DNA synthesis leading to mutations that can give rise to cancer.

The opening is for a Post-Doctoral Fellow in defining molecular mechanisms of signaling in DNA double-strand break repair using state-of-the-art approaches. The chosen candidate will be supervised by Dr Stephane Richard (McGill Univerisity, Montreal).
